Promotonal Rankings

One of my favorite metrics I get from your ratings is the promotional rankings. These rankings represent each promotions event average for 2008.

This past EliteXC show has the EliteXC jump past the average UFC Fight Night (including TUF finales).

How do these rankings line up with what you would have thought?

3.79 - UFC (events only)
3.79 - WEC
3.63 - Affliction
3.59 - Dream
3.53 - UFC (all shows)
3.11 - EliteXC
3.05 - UFC Fight Nights
2.74 - Strikeforce
2.28 - Sengoku

UFC (events only)
WEC
UFC (all shows)
Affliction
Dream
EliteXC
UFC Fight Nights
Strikeforce
Sengoku

Here's a better view of how the MMA promotions have compared with each other in 2008 according to MMA Raters.


Let me know what you think of this comparison. It was created based on how MMA Raters rated events.

Note that each diamond represent an event. Each line represents the promotion's average rating.

Some things I find interesting:
- EliteXC ranked worse than UFC fight nights except for there last (and final) event "Heat".
- Dream ranks very well, being one of the best, but Sengoku has the worst ranking.
- Affliction ranked very well with their one event.
- The WEC ranks way better than Strikeforce.
- UFC events (not including fight nights) rank very high, especially considering how many shows they put on. No surprise there!
